Nitrogen fertilization in field vegetables: an economic - ecological approach
Nitrogen losses from agricultural plots continue to be a problem in some areas - mostly with vegetables.
Thematic network on reuse of nitrogen and phosphorus (NUTRIMAN)
Getting technologies, products and practices for reuse of nitrogen and phosphorus to farmers is the goal of the European project NUTRIMAN.
Broilers that grow just as well but emit less nitrogen
The best nitrogen-reducing measure is source-oriented: that statement is the basis of the Madri Brink's doctoral study
True measurement of volatile nitrogen from animal housing, is that (almost) possible?
The nitrogen emissions that dissipate under the form of ammonia from a barn with chickens, dairy cattle, beef cattle or pigs are now determined with a prediction model, creating an average estimate based on a fixed emission factor per animal species and barn type.

Nitrogen effects of cut green manures in relation to application method and soil condition
The element nitrogen (N) is ubiquitous: 78% of the atmosphere is composed of nitrogen gas (N2) and it is a building block of all life on earth. No wonder it is an essential element in plant fertilizers and animal feed. Yet it also causes some intractable environmental problems.
The nitrogen cycle The nitrogen gas (N2) that makes up 78% of the air cannot be used in that form by living organisms. To be available as a nutrient, it must be converted into a reactive form. The main natural sources of reactive nitrogen are biological nitrogen fixation in soils and oceans, wildfires, and lightning.

Turning barn air into organic fertilizer or nutritious animal feed: How feasible is circular processing of nitrogen from livestock buildings?
Can you turn nitrogen emitted from barn air and manure into a raw material suitable for the production of organic fertilizer and/or animal feed?
In Flanders, this problem is addressed by the Programmatic Approach to Nitrogen (PAS). More information on PAS can be found at www.natura2000.vlaanderen.be.
